Does the game Terraria have a dedicated online server (like MMO games) that will save my progress? Or will I have to connect to other people like FPS games? Or can I do both?

Your character persists between worlds and is stored on your local machine as are single player worlds. You can configure it to save to a different location (Dropbox etc). Multiplayer worlds are saved in different places depending on the configuration of the server.
The term "dedicated" can mean two things here. There is dedicated hosting which means some other place hosts the server software (usually for a price). There is also the dedicated server software which is separate from the Terraria client and allows anyone to host a server.
9As I understand, you need TerrariaServer.exeThis is dedicated server program. This means that it doesn't have game GUI and only function of it to serve full functional game clients. univ Save files will be created locally, on machine where server is created. Of course, you can transfer files between game servers if you need.
dedicated online server (like MMO games)
I don't know about existence of universal centralized Terraria server. It is unnecessary.
